Question

In the reduction of nitriles to primary amines, what is the impact of increasing the number of carbon atoms in the starting nitrile compound?, Decreased yield of primary amine, No effect on the reaction outcome, Increased yield of primary amine, Formation of secondary amines instead

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Increasing the number of carbon atoms in the starting nitrile compound results in the ascent of the amine series, leading to the formation of primary amines with one more carbon atom.
